Russian BTI 2015 - Библия под ред. М.П. Кулакова и М.М. Кулакова (BTI)
«Провозгласите среди народов, возвестите, поднимите знамя и возвестите, не утаивайте, скажите: „Взят Вавилон, посрамлен Бел, трепещет Мардук, идолы его посрамлены, трясутся его истуканы“.
Что это значит?
This verse tells the people to spread the news that Babylon has been conquered. The idols of Babylon are broken and their gods are disgraced. It's a message of judgment on a once-powerful city.
Объяснение для детей
Imagine if your favorite playground got closed down and all its fun toys were broken. That's kind of what's happening here, but with a big city called Babylon instead of a playground.
Исторический контекст
Jeremiah wrote this prophecy around 587-585 BCE. The audience was the people of Israel and the broader nations. Babylon was the powerful empire that had conquered Jerusalem.
Применение сегодня
Just as Babylon's idols were proven powerless, we can apply this to trusting in our own strength or possessions instead of God. For example, believing that money will protect us instead of God's guidance.
